The Huffington Post continued to assert its dominance in terms of overall sharing reach. It added an impressive 2.1 million shares over its September numbers. That brought its overall Facebook total up to more than 67.4 million for the month, a colossal increase on the 53.4 million it achieved in September.

BuzzFeed also had a good month, growing its overall interactions by about 7 million. October showed us that BuzzFeed seem to be very much over its quiz phase. Back at the start of 2014, we were talking about how the new format had been so successful for BuzzFeed on Facebook. It’s a different story now, with not a quiz to be seen amongst BuzzFeed’s most-shared stories last month. Instead, it’s back to an old staple — the listicle.

After its ascension to second place in terms of overall shares in September, PlayBuzz continued to grow its total throughout October. It is in second place again in the top 10 shares chart, managing to close the gap on The Huffington Post, with a significantly lower output.

Meanwhile, Bitecharge, another quiz-oriented site, came onto our radar in a big way last month. It had the most-shared story of last month, the simply titled “How Old Do You Act?,” which picked up more than 1.46 million shares, ahead of PlayBuzz’s most shared quiz, “What Color Is Your Personality?,” by 400,000 shares or so.
